Team News

Las Palmas
Espanyol
  • Jonathan Viera should start in a deeper midfield role, which allows for Kevin-Prince Boateng to feature on the left.
  • Nabil El Zhar has had a knock recently, which should see Tana given the starting nod as a precaution.
  • Marko Livaja is one card away from suspension up top, with young Mauricio Lemos ready to maintain a place at centre-back over Pedro Bigas.
  • Oscar Duarte is out with an ankle problem, meaning that Diego Reyes will deputise at centre-back.
  • Marc Roca is expected to continue in the middle of the park, with Pablo Piatti fit to start on the left wing.
  • Felipe Caicedo is injured with a muscle problem, meaning that Leo Baptistao will partner Gerard Moreno up top.

Prediction

  • Las Palmas have won only one of their last five La Liga games and their blistering start to the campaign now seems a long time ago.
  • Quique Setien's men have conceded eight goals in their last three matches, but are unbeaten in their last seven home game in the Spanish top flight.
  • Gerard Moreno already has four goals to his name this season, with the ex-Villarreal striker's form key to ensuring that Espanyol continue with their gradual improvement under Quique Sanchez Flores.
